Key result
Abnormal levels of anxiety or depression in patients with coronary artery disease were not significantly associated with conventional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes.
Why the study?
Psychosocial problems like anxiety or depression potentially affect CAD cardiovascular risk factors, but their clinical association remained undiscovered.
Does abnormal anxiety or depression affect conventional CAD risk factors in CAD patients undergoing revascularization?

Does abnormal anxiety or depression affect conventional CAD risk factors in CAD patients undergoing revascularization?
In patients with CAD undergoing revascularization, anxiety and depression are moderately prevalent but do not significantly correlate with conventional cardiovascular risk factors.
Tiksnadi et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) (n=99). Anxiety or depression vs. Normal levels of anxiety or depression was evaluated on Association between anxiety or depression and conventional CAD risk factors. Abnormal levels of anxiety or depression in patients with coronary artery disease were not significantly associated with conventional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes.
